Police / Help to victims
Police
You can lodge a complaint with the police in case of theft or aggression. In emergency cases, call 101. You can call your local police station (the number is in the directory) for further information or less urgent matters.
There are police services for each municipality and you can contact the police headquarters in towns. You can also lodge a complaint if you have been a victim of an offence. The police will then write a police statement (Proces-Verbal). This is an official form that comprises the statement and other information as regards the offence. Two copies will be made. You will keep one copy.
